"The public must feel confident that Members use public resources only for official actions in the best interests of the United States, not for partisan political activity," wrote Senate Ethics Committee Chairman Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, and Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the panel's Republican vice chairman."Your actions failed to uphold that standard, resulting in harm to the public trust and confidence in the United States Senate. You are hereby admonished.
In a statement Thursday, Graham said:"It was a mistake. I take responsibility. I will try to do better in the future."
